The Fiscal Year 2011 Driver’s License Security Grant Program (DLSGP) is established to significantly enhance the integrity and security of state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards. This initiative directly addresses a critical recommendation from the 9/11 Commission, aiming to bolster national security by preventing terrorism and reducing identity fraud. The DLSGP provides funding to states to develop and implement more robust systems for verifying an applicant’s identity, ensuring that only legitimate documents are issued. The program seeks to improve the overall reliability and accuracy of personal identification documents, which are crucial for official purposes. States are strongly encouraged to collaborate on developing sophisticated, secure verification processes to safeguard against misuse and improve public safety.
